I hope you are keeping well and safe as lockdown continues

 

The good news is that it seems to be working 

 

All though all the statistics can be confusing it does seem like this damned virus is starting to slow down

 

And that is entirely dues to us all following the advice we’ve been given about self isolating and social distancing 

 

Its weird, difficult and unlike anything we’ve been through before 

 

But we really should all give ourselves a round of applause for sticking it out so far and agreeing to do what it takes to defeat this 

 

That’s what happened here last Thursday and is happening all over the world 

 

At 8pm on Thursday we happened to be listening to the radio when an announcement was made that a nationwide “clapping” was to take place.

 

We opened our front window and joined in with our neighbours clapping and waving in thanks to each other and to the front line carers dealing with coronavirus sufferers 

 

The feeling was of solidarity and community 

 

Today is Easter Monday and in normal times would be a holiday for most of us 

 

This year things are different but we can still - religious or not - appreciate the message of rebirth and look forward to the end of this lockdown, this horrible virus and look forward to what’s next 

 

Maybe the start of a completely new way of living ….
